If it wasn’t paraphrased he’d be my favorite person right now.
MN Dept of Public Safety at the podium, paraphrased:
“We have found all kinds of shit. Oil, gasoline. Near where we’ve seen fires set. Also vehicles, like what we’ve seen used in bringing chaos to our city.”
“Get the motherfuck out the streets. Be safe. Be home. We are finding incendiaries, we are finding weapons. Please stay home.”
Ugh, sister went back home today, too.
John Harrington for mayor/governor/president. He’s up here telling everyone about the horrible shit they’ve found and how they’re trying to protect citizens and infrastructure. Why you should stay the fuck home. How they’re trying to keep protesters safe.
The difference between Harrington and the fashy state trooper commander is super fucking obvious.
MN Nat’l Guard General (paraphrased):
FBI had a very credible threat from last week toward the MN NG. Got picked up by media early this week. Was not new. Gov Walz had it. That’s why I wanted the MN NG to be armed.
Gov Walz, paraphrased:
Blah blah, we are coming together and cleaning up.
Also, stay the fuck home.
Questions?
MPD says they don’t know of anyone injured. Walz explicitly said it’s possible that people went to the hospital on their own, and reporting on the ground seems to indicate that.
Boston is going crazy today…with peaceful protests and friendly cops.
DPS commissioner Harrington:
Yes, we’ve found incendiaries in caches in Uptown that look like they’ve been there for a few days ago as well as having been put there within the last 24hrs.
Truck attacking protesters was, we think, on the freeway as we were closing it. But wtf, you can’t drive into a fucking crowd, the fuck is wrong with you.
Truck driver is probably fine? idk, hospital let him go
We have not found anyone who has reported an injury to us (re truck into protest)
Ellison - MN AG:
Yeah, I have the final say vs the county prosecutor when it comes to prosecuting this murdering asshole.
This is pretty unbelievable.
They put him in the bunker for protestors. I mean, Nixon would rarely have gotten out of the damned place.
Again I’m generally on board with Governor Walz. He seems focused on a) not burning the city down and b) fixing the fucking shit that led us here.
e: Sorry for the spam. Trying not to lose my damn mind with my state under freaking siege.
Remember how I was all like “Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey has mostly failed the city and just hasn’t been effective as an executive”?
Dude was apparently scheduled to meet with the protesters on 35W but then the truck thing happened and nobody has heard from him since.
We’re done here, dude.
There’s a curfew in effect in Cleveland, and they’ve made it clear they don’t want any cameras.
None
2854
Surely the media have drones? How good are Cleveland’s air defense systems? A flak ring around the 90 and along the 2 could effectively contain downtown.
I keep wondering why nobody is up on a building filming. This is downtown; there are crazy skyscrapers.
So is Biden hiding in his basement, or is DJT? Very confused.
Of course, courage is one of the many, many, many, many words not in DJT’s vocabulary.
